Just getting around to actually listening to SWIMMING and am absolutely haunted and saddened by seeing the last track's title.
Kurt Vonnegut (my favorite author) uses and coined that phrase "So it goes.." after any character is his books dies. Mac didn't make that the last song of his last album coincidentally
He planned on taking himself out in an orchestrated fashion
RIP to Mac & Kurt
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.
I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.
I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, “If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.”
I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.
True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.
Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
Thing that shook me up about this kid's death is how much of him I saw in myself and vice versa. Dealing with my own issues and hearing about how he went out, only to find out that we had the same literary influences is making this a lot tougher.
